Cool site. I started training seriously and the first thing that came to mind when seeing these movements was... Why did it take us so long to make weight machines (19th century) if we knew the effect of resistance training for millennia AND had the mechanical understanding?

The answer appears to be free weights did the job and people only became sedentary recently.
